Yep, it seems like they don't. Unfortunately there is also no public transportation directly from DC to the Udvar-Hazy. And taking public transportation might take upto to 2 hours, and would almost near the cost of simply taking a taxi (from what I quickly read on the internet). So I think taking a cab and splitting the fare would be more cost effective. It would be best if we leave soon after breakfast, by at least 10am. I believe User:Magioladitis is joining as well. So that's 2 so far :) Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2012 08:11:53 -0400 From: andy(a)pigsonthewing.org.uk To: wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wikimania-l] Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center (Air & Space Museum) I'd planned to do that on my way to the airport on Monday, but it seems that they don't have a facility to leave luggage. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk On Jul 14, 2012 7:48 AM, "Lori Phillips" <lori.byrd.phillips(a)gmail.com> wrote: Local tip: You should definitely consider tagging along together with Rehman and going to the Udvar-Hazy. It's worth the trip out to Dulles, and perhaps may be something worth considering on the morning that you may leave for your flight, if your schedule allows. (The museum is located on the grounds of Dulles airport, but you do not have to drive into the main airport parking, etc., to get there, the entrance is elsewhere.) I hope a few of you make it out!

I plan on visiting there hopefully on the 15th before I leave back to Colombo. It's basically the bigger part of the Air & Space Museum which most of us know in DC, and houses the Space Shuttle Discovery (YEAH!), SR71 Blackbird, Gemini 7, the B29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, a Concorde, and tons more. Links: Website, Wikipedia. Let me know if anyone's interested. Haven't planned the transportation route yet. It's located just next to the Dulles airport.

I'm probably going to be going to Udvar-Hazy around midday on Sunday (after the comcom meeting on Sunday morning, before I fly out fairly early on Monday), returning to Washington when it closes at ~6.30pm. If anyone else is interested in going at these times, let me know. It looks like the easiest way to get there via public transport is the Metrobus to Dulles (http://www.wmata.com/bus/ - 5A, from L'enfant Plaza to Dulles), and then there's a Loudon bus from Dulles to the Air and Space museum (route 83, http://www.vatransit.org/) - and back the same way.

Interested! :) But I've heard that it takes almost 2hrs and quite some bucks to take public transport from DC to there. If you're interested, we could simply take a taxi. It takes about $74 one way though. If we could get a group of at least 3, it would be quite reasonable to take the taxi. Or if you dont like taxis, I dont have a problem with public transport ;) I need to be back here by 17:00 (5pm) though, to start my trek back to NYC/JFK and then home. So we could take a taxi back as well. I'm in HIDC room 505 if anyone is interested in grouping up for this. :)
